The Jefferson Parish Council meets Wednesday at 10 a.m. in Elmwood to consider a 122-item agenda, including whether to ask voters this fall to reconsider their rejection of tax proposals for water and sewerage. Parish President John Young is recommending that the council puts two measures on the Oct. 19 ballot asking voters for up to 5 mills for each water and sewerage, but that the council also pass a resolution vowing to immediately cut the rate to the levels paid last year: 3.54 mills for water and 3.58 mills for sewerage. The meeting begins at 10 a.m. at the Joe S. Yenni Building, 1221 Elmwood Park Blvd. Staff writer Manuel Torres will be covering the Parish Council meeting and posting updates on Nola.com and on Twitter, at @1manueltorres.

The council's agenda also includes Performing Arts Center contractor Joe Caldarera, who is expected to address the council two weeks after he made a presentation arguing he's not at fault for the project's cost overruns and delays. The council on May 1 postponed a vote on potentially putting Caldarera in default, giving time for negotiations with the contractor. But no deal has been reached yet.

The Jefferson Parish Ethics and Compliance Commission meets in Elmwood, beginning at 5 p.m. The agenda includes a progress report from Inspector General David McClintock, who's said he's working on creating policies for the new office. The session takes place in the Parish Council chambers at the Yenni Building.
